3. In a chandelle, constant pitch and changing bank occur in what part of the maneuver? (FAA-H-8083-3)

Answer 2

The last 90° of turn requires a very gradual change in bank from 30° to 0° and a constant pitch attitude so as to arrive at minimum airspeed as the airplane is rolled out to a wings-level attitude.
